Tom - That set up was just for pics. The speakers have been moved to separate rooms for break in. Our largest Theater room is 25x24 feet ... which will allow for

Cool - thanks, Craig. I figured that was the case, but just wanted to see if there was something I was missing.

hey now.. i am driving my 1997 Chevrolet 1 Ton, 4 door, longbed with pride!!
sure they can go fast, but can they pull a 30ft travel trailer to Yosemite? can they take the boat out to the lake? can they haul a cord and a half of mesquite from the ranch in the bed? NOPE!!
all that, plus i gotta toolbox, a headache rack, bed rails, and a cattle guard.
but i cant go fast..

I'll see your 97 Altima, and raise you one 93 Camry.  (And it's the best car I've ever owned unless you want to count this)
And, to tell you the truth, though the MGB was certainly much more fun, the Camry is still the better car.

Regarding cars, I'm just cheap. I can either buy something new and get P/O'ed about how it's depreciating faster than I'm paying for it, or as I've been doing recently - buying a well-maintained, low mileage (kilometreage?) older car that costs about the same as one paycheque - have it for 4-5 years and sell it for half what I paid when bigger things start going wrong.
The fact the average age of my neighbours is "dead" helps, too. Hmm... 91 Pontiac 6000 with 50,000 original kilometres, all service done at the dealership with a folder full of unnecessary repairs detailing that everything's been replaced except the seats? One owner - my grandfather, and since it's being passed through my dad to me, means I don't have to pay for a safety inspection... for $3500CDN? Lemme just check my wallet!
'Course, Lisa's sister refers to them as "Ol' Lady Cars"... but I've never had a car broken into yet!
